bruth OF the report, and have taken measures tt

lady IN this village who for years has been
helpless cripple, suffering from partial paralysis
ana rheumatism. During this time this lady Mrs
A. b. Case, who now resides with her daughter
over u. ID. IL III. w. Cheney's store, has never

Improvement has all taken place in less than ten
days treatment under DR.. Royce, and she is every

Mrs. Case is lady 81 years old and her rapid
recovery IS the more remarkable in view of this
TACT. There can be no doubt of the Doctors un-
Outstanding of medicine when his prescriptions
produce such wonderful results. He has seen the
lady but twice personally and did not give her any
encouragement that she would be able to walk or

Charges are made tending to show
that Bennington is a miniature Sioux
City. A local paper charges that there
are 90 saloons running in open defiance
of the law-BenningtOn has a pOpula-
ton of 634I-and correspondent of
another paper summarizes list of
crimes for which the saloons are direct
ly responsible and which go unpunish-
ed. The record as to open selling
could doubtless be matched in a dozen
Vermont towns. The only reasonable
thing about it is that papers should be
found in the state to print even part
of the truth. 1t is not long since the
Rutland Herald recorded the fact that
number of the leading drug stores
and hotels had been fined for selling
liquor but suppressed the names of the
offenders, while the infamy of less i'm
portant police court criminals is re-
corded as a matter of course. Two or
three years ago Vermont newspaper
man ventured to tell the exact truth
about the workings of the prohibitory
law, and the paper which employed
him was induced by the popular clam
or to deny the perfectly patent facts.

A Wonderfully; Successful Treatment.

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done more for the alienation of
human suffering and the of disease than DIR
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means of poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies i'll the laboratory of NATURE. After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas he
further pushed his Investigations inithe treatment
of Diseases by vegetable remedies, twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine he has
made the study and investigation of the treatment
of one class of dsease-the of chronic or long
standing complants-a life work and the result
is certainly marvellous. Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different diseases, which were won
derful in their effects =, Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up as incurable by other
physicians, were restored to sound and perfect
health under the use of these

A Strange Case.
,SDrinofeLd Republican

The story that August Spies, one OF
the anarchists under sentence of death
in Chicago, is to be married in prison
if the license clerk can be induced to
grant the permit-becOmes more as
tOnishing when one learns the details.
The girl in the question is 20 years old,
Il graduate of Vassar, and an heiress,
being a granddaughter of Thomas s.
Clarke, a Pttsburg millionaire, who
will receive the bulk of his property
upon the death of an aunt. The story
of her interest in Spies has touch of
vealy romance. Four years ago Miss
Van Zandt lost pet poodle and adver-
Guiding the Arbeiter Zeitung, where
Spies received the advertisement, re-
wrote it in German and counted out the
change. He was handsome, she was
pretty, they were both yOung-and
when they met on the street thereafter
they recognized each other. Miss
Van Zandt did not know her hand
some Germans name, and had no idea
that he was among the arrested an
archists. The Van Zandts and Judge
Gary attend the same church, and the
daughter was invited to join a party
of the Judges friends to attend the
trial. There she saw, in the prison
er's dock, the unknown youth who had
taken pay for advertising her poodle.
Since the conviction she has visited
him in the jail, frequently with her
mother and sometimes with her father,
who is chemist for big manufactur
ing firm, because of those visits she
has become engage to him, and so in
fatuated that she is ready to marry a
man under sentence of death, to whom
she had not spoken twice when the
sentence was pronounced. 1t is sad
for the girl, and especially sad because
her parents appear to be sharers of her
insanity.

those who have it not. to resort to such means as
will effect its restoration. 1t becomes question,

clans cannot be equally skilled in the treatment OF
all classes of disease.
The common doctor, even though he has the in
enation, has neither the time the facilities to

The Deaf Hear.
Rutland WtJ Review, Sent. 10. 1ss5J

OF the hundreds of cases successfully treated
by Drs. Severance 81 Royce during their stay here
our personal attention has been directed to a num-
Der; but perhaps none of them is more wonderful
than that of the twelveye years old daughter of Mrs
Ellen Davis of North Chester, VT. From early in
fancy this child has been very delicate and was
long sufferer from catarrh of a very distressing
and OBSTINATE nature, causing at times enlarge
nenG of the tonsils TO that degree that it was with
dlfhculty she could swallow solid food. The child
has always been deaf-iu later years it being "a l.
most impossible TO make her hear anything. The
child was put under treatment from Drs. Sever
ance Royce, not, however until physicians had
expressed the opinion that there as no help for
her. From private letter from Mrs. Davis we
quote follows:
Last May my attention called to the ad-
Vertlsement of Drs. Severance & Royce, and de-
termlned to make one more effort having, howev-
en- little faith that she would receive any benefit
The result is truly astonishing. She is now a
healthy child, can bear exposure to all kinds of
weather, aud is entirely cured of her deafness.
Every one who sees her remarks on her improved
appearance, and regards it simply wonderful
that such a change should take place in short a
tlme would advise all who are similarly afflict-
ed TO consult these physicians without delay"
Inns case is more remarkable in that the child
was deaf almost from birth, and it more a con-
sttutlOnal difficulty than local. Drs. Severance
81 Royce have had remarkable success in the
treatment of deafness, and they have in all chronic
enectl0ns; and so long as they here all suffer
ers should take advantage of the visit and consult
them.

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms of
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure or pain, contentment or
unhappiness success failure Health is essen
tial to the accomplishment of every purpose while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and loftiest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the browning work of the Creator ;
and when this complicated structure so exquisite
ly wrought is disturbed by disease the most,'s
icient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician for the human body is too precious to be
neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in all forms
OF disease, and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine can possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to chronic or linger-
ing diseases. DR.. E. w. Royce of Boston, now at
the Avenue house, st. Johnsbury, Vt, has met
public need and is great benefactor to the sick.
His means are ample, and his resources so
abundant that he is enabled in almost all cases
OF chronic diseases to effect perfect and complete
cure by means of HARMLESS VEGETA BILE
REMEDIES.

If l were a boy again, and knew
what L know now, l would not be quite
so positive in my opinions as used to
be. Boys generally think that they
are very certain about many things.
A boy of fifteen is great deal more
sure of what he thinks he knows than
is a man of fifty. You ask the boy a
question and he will answer you right
off, up and down he knows all about
it. Ask man of large experience and
ripe wisdom the same question, and
he will say, "Well, there is much to
be said about it. / am inclined, on the
whole, to think so and so, but other in
telligent men think otherwise"
When was eight years old 1 travelled
from Central Massachusetts to West
ern New York, crossing the river at
Albany, and going by canal from Sche-
nectady to Syracuse. On the canal
boat kindly gentleman was talking
to me one day, and L mentioned the
fact that had crossed the Connecticut
river at Albany. How | got it in my
head that it was the Connecticut river
| do not know, for | knew my geogra-
accountable way had it fixed in my

Connecticut, and l called it SO.
"Why," said the gentleman, "that is
the Hudson river"
'Oh, no, sir !" l replied, politely, but
firmly. you're mistaken. That is
the Connecticut river"
The gentleman smiled and said no
more. l was not much in the habit, |
think, of contradicting my elders; but
in this matter | was perfectly sure that
was right, and SO thought it my.
duty to correct the gentleman's geog-
raphy. | felt rather sorry for him that
he should be so ignorant. One day,
after reached home, l was looking
over my route on the map, and 10 I!
there was Albany standing on the
Hudson river, hundred miles from
the Connecticut. Then did not feel
half so sorry for the gentleman's igno
rance as L did for my own. L never
told any body that story until L wrote
it down on these pages the other day
but have thought of it thousand
times, and always with blush for my
bOldness. Nor was it the only time
that | was perfectly sure of things that
really were not so. 1t is hard for
boy to learn that he may be mistaken
but unless he is fool, he learns it at
ter while. The sooner he finds it
out, the better for him.

A Case of Spinal Disease Cured.

MRS. CELIA GossKLN, who resides ON Centre
street, for two years afflicted with spinal dis
ease and was unable to do anything much of the
time, and was unable to leave her bed. During
the two years of her illness she constantly EN-.
plOyed physicians but one and all pronounced her
case lncurable. She was reduced in flesh almost
to a skeleton, and was hopeless and discouraged.
1t was in this condition that she called on DIR.
Royce to consult with him, and after being treated
by him two months she is able to do her own work
and is robust and healthy. She has gained greatly
in flesh, and is so far as her former complaint is
concerned perfectly cured. She called and
stated the above facts, which we cOrrobOrated by
inquiry into the case, and wished us to publicly
acknowledge her gratitude to this physician for the
ready published her recommend of Dr. Royce $
methods and treatment to other afflicted ones. Dr.
Royce informs us that the of Mrs. GOsselin
was a very promising one. and when he first began
did not promise her cure, but thought he could
relieve her in a considerable degree. The success
which attended her treatment is therefore less
gratifying to him than to thei patient.-fRutland

Mr.. j. NJ. GOOdenOugh of PttsfOrd. Vt for a
chronic difficulty of 50 years standing and also for
a kidney trouble from which he had suffered for Is
years. Mr.. GOOdenOugh is ~ years of age, and his
recovery from both complaints is the more remark
able on that account. He had tried various oh ysi-
clans at home and abroad without relief but in
three weeks after he consulted DR.. Royce he was
relieved of both. He was in office the other
day, looking as hale and hearty many do at fifty
years, and he was very pronounced in his endorse
